THIS IS the crazy moment a Spanish footballer saw his sending off changed to a yellow card by VAR – only for him to clash with an opposing player and receive another red moments later.
Fuenlabrada were hosting Girona in a second tier game in Spain and trailed 1-0 after Cristhian Stuani opened the scoring.

But all hell broke loose on the pitch after Spaniard Cristobal Marquez was initially sent off for a tackle on Alex Granell.
After a VAR check Marquez’s sending off was overturned to a yellow and the referee had to fetch the midfielder from the tunnel and call him back onto the pitch.
Marquez was still seething, though, and charged right up to Granell.
After some pointing and shouting the player’s went head to head causing a melee on the pitch between the two sides.
Marquez and Granell were both carded for the incident.
But it acted as a second booking for Marquez, who for the second time in a matter of minutes was sent off after receiving the two quick yellows.
Fans online could not believe the “Incredible scenes” on the pitch.
One said: “What a mess.”
Another said: “Incredible scenes in Spain’s second division. Simply incredible.”
One added: “Cristóbal is designated as a dumb fool of the year. Dumb idiot.”
